A neatly presented three-bedroom freehold home in a convenient Penarth location, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward, move-in-ready accommodation. The house sits directly beside the recreation ground and is a short walk from Cogan railway station and the leisure centre, making it well suited to commuters and families who value easy access to sports and transport. The interior is in good decorative order with a large living room, fitted kitchen/diner and a bright conservatory that brings extra light and direct access to the rear garden.
Practical features include driveway parking and a garage in an adjacent block, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and PVCu double glazing throughout. The accommodation is arranged over two storeys with three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor; principal reception space is generous for the house size. The property is chain-free and offered as a freehold, simplifying purchase for buyers wanting a quick move.
Buyers should be aware the plot is small and the garden is low-maintenance rather than extensive. There is a single family bathroom only, and third bedroom is compact. The local area scores as very deprived and the immediate neighbourhood is described as ageing urban communities — factors that may affect long-term resale or rental yields. The house was built around the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation (assumed), so buyers wanting higher energy efficiency may consider further insulation or upgrades.
Overall this is a practical, well-located home with clear commuter and community benefits, modest running costs (moderate council tax, no flood risk) and straightforward maintenance needs. It offers immediate occupation potential with scope for value-adding cosmetic or efficiency improvements over time.
